Let’s Read Math Travels to Merion PA

“Bart’s Amazing Charts” Amazes Students

 

 

Darlene Borst, Judy Lappen, Lynn Pettit, Jan Seaman, and Myra Jones traveled to Merion Elementary School on May 19, 2010 to present a Let’s Read Math program to a class of second graders. Our AAUW-Bethlehem team made this long drive to surprise a special young lady. Rachel Lappen, Judy’s granddaughter, had heard about the program, which combines math and reading, and was hoping to have her classmates experience the fun some day.

From September 2009 through May 2010 the Let’s Read Math team presented programs to 7 schools, 24 classes, and 379 students. The team also demonstrated at the September branch meeting. Congratulations on a busy year. Coordinator Fran Bentkowski welcomes new volunteers and can be reached at 610-866-7462 or by email at fbentkowski@verizon.net.
